give me this in slope intercept forn

give me this in slope intercept form

Solution

The image you've uploaded depicts a line graphed on a coordinate plane. To convert this line into the slope-intercept form y=mx+by = mx + b, we need to determine the slope mm and the y-intercept bb.

Based on the graph:

  1. Identifying the slope (mm): The slope of a line is calculated as the rise over the run between any two points on the line. Selecting two points that the line passes through, such as (1,3)(1, -3) and (2,4)(2, -4), we calculate the slope as follows: m=change in ychange in x=4(3)21=11=1m = \frac{\text{change in } y}{\text{change in } x} = \frac{-4 - (-3)}{2 - 1} = \frac{-1}{1} = -1

  2. Identifying the y-intercept (bb): The y-intercept is the point where the line crosses the y-axis. From the graph, the line crosses the y-axis at y=2y = -2, so b=2b = -2.

Thus, the slope-intercept form of the line is: y=x2y = -x - 2

  5. What happens to the graph of a line if we change the slope or the y-intercept?

Tip: When checking the slope by counting the rise over the run on the graph, ensure that you move consistently in one direction (left-to-right or right-to-left) to maintain consistency in sign and magnitude.
